About the SOPW problem:
I was on at the time, and as far as I could see,
it wasn't the post. I didn't announce anything
at the time because the conversation in chatterbox
had already shifted to the view that it wasn't the
node.
I'm a bit suprised there's such a slow response time
for European times like you report. My usual morning
routine is to take care of outstanding nodes (except
tutorials) and then check every couple of hours from
that point on.
I will be gone next month, however, so there will be
a lot less editing from me until August.
